streets, near the East river. Owing to
the inflammable nature of the material
used, the flames spread so rapidly that
the workers in the factory, many of whom
were WON en-, had barely time to- escape
with their lives. Some of them let them
selves down on pulley ropes, and others
jumped from windows. But for the large

1t is noticeable that cotton manufacture

where but little in that line has hereto

mills in that State.
The amount of capital represented by
the new enterprises organized or charter

of old plants and rebuilding of burned
mills during the first six months of 1887
compared with the sam time in 1856, was:
